Hmm, now lets think which country has a state policy of extra-judicial assassination?

Quote:
Olmert Israel Can “Attack Everyone”

In Israel and the Occupied Territories, more than ninety Palestinians were seized and brought back into Israel Sunday in an Israeli raid. One Palestinian civilian and three Hamas militants were killed, and twenty people were wounded before Israeli forces withdrew. The raids came as Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert announced Israel has the right to “attack everyone” if Palestinians fire rockets.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert: “We have completely a free hand to respond, to reach out and to attack everyone which is having any kind of responsibility on behalf of Hamas in the southern part of our country.”

Olmert went on to say he doesn’t expect to reach a peace deal with the Palestinian Authority this year, only a set of "basic principles.” He said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has agreed to delay talks on the status of Jerusalem until the very last stages, but Palestinian officials are denying the claim. Israel has announced two major settlement expansion projects in Arab East Jerusalem since the U.S.-brokered Annapolis summit last November. Olmert’s comments came as Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri said Hamas remains open to talks on a ceasefire with Israel.

Sami Abu Zuhri: “Hamas has confirmed that it has no objection to studying the matter if the Israeli occupation commits to stopping all forms of aggression against our Palestinian people and lifts the siege that is imposed on our people.”

Which country carries out extra-judicial assassination at times when the target is known to be at home and sleeping??

Quote:
Naji Khaled Isma'il al-Bardawil
14 year-old resident of Khan Yunis, killed on 03.10.2006 in Khan Yunis, by gunfire, from a helicopter. Did not participate in hostilities when killed. Additional information: Killed by missiles fired at a metal workshop while sleeping in his room with his brother, who was injured in the incident.
Has Israel ever cared about collateral damage?

Quote:
When, in October 1997, the halfblind, almost wholly paralysed Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who has been killed in an Israeli air strike at the age of around 67, arrived in Gaza, after being released from an Israeli jail in exchange for Mossad agents caught redhanded trying to assassinate a colleague in Jordan, one Arab commentator likened him to Nelson Mandela.

The comparison must have made Yasser Arafat seethe inwardly, even as he heaped homage on the returning hero. In his view, if there were any Palestinian Mandela - any unique, historic leader of the Palestinian people - it was himself.
Obituary: Sheikh Ahmed Yassin | World news | The Guardian

Both to Palestinians or to Israeli from the blow-back.

Re: Report; Zionist assassins bomb sleeping civilians.

I'm not claiming that Israel doesn't do these kinds of things. To accuse me of such is disingenuous. But, it's far more likely that this guy had explosives in his house that went off unintentionally than Israeli agents sneaking into this guy's house and planting such a quantity to make this kind of explosion. There's no evidence that this was an airstrike.

Occam's razor and all.

Now lets think. How many bombers have blown themselves up???

And how many extra-judicial assassinations have there been????

So it turns out it is 150 times more likely that it was an Israeli assassination. That's one big razor.

Re: Report; Zionist assassins bomb sleeping civilians.

You're talking about ameteurs working with high explosives. All it takes is one bad detonator.

Your math? A bit faulty.

The Palestinians are definitely professionals.

The maths is good.

Re: Report; Zionist assassins bomb sleeping civilians.

Puhleeze.

The US military uses 100x more bullets than private gun owners. Therefore, if someone is shot, it's clearly the US military.

That's your "logic." It doesn't work.

Re: Report; Zionist assassins bomb sleeping civilians.

This sheepish drift into spurious analogy doesn't get you off the hook, pramjockey. I wouldn't normally bother harping on it but you're particularly offensive. Once more, you have absolutely no right to state that the report is 'false'. Believing that there might be an, investigable, alternative explanation is wholly different from brazenly declaring that I have posted a 'false' report. It's disreputable.

Not so long ago I was accused of altering the Google cache to fit my thread title. I think you might have been prominent in that routed throng too.

I don't know where you get your logic but your logic is illogical.

Israel has assassinated how many Palestinians??

Palestinians killed during the course of a targeted killing
376

Palestinians who were the object of a targeted killing
227

B'Tselem - Statistics - Fatalities

Number of Palestinians who have blown themselves up while bomb making?

looks like 150:1 chance that the Israelis blew the place up.
